¡ The appliance is secured for trans-portation using transit bolts. Transitbolts which have not been re-moved may result in material dam-age and damage to the appliance.▶ Before starting up the appliance,

remove the transit bolts com-pletely and keep them in a safeplace.

▶ Before transport, fit the transitbolts fully in order to preventdamage in transit.

¡ If the water pressure is too high ortoo low, this may impair function-ing of the appliance.▶ Make sure that the water pres-

sure in the water supply systemis min. 100 kPa (1 bar) andmax. 1000 kPa (10 bar).

Save energy and conserve re-sourcesIf you follow these instructions, yourappliance will use less electricity andless water.

Do not exceed the programme'smaximum load capacity → Page 24.

A higher load capacity extends theprogramme duration and in-creases energy consumption.

Use the programme's maximum loadcapacity → Page 24.

The energy and resource con-sumption is the most efficient.

Use the economy programme set-tings.

If you adjust the programme set-tings for a programme, the displayshows the expected consumption.

Add → Page 39 detergent based onthe laundry's degree of soiling.

For light to normal soiling, a smal-ler amount of detergent is suffi-cient. Observe the dosage recom-mendation from the detergentmanufacturer.

Reduce the washing temperature forlightly and normally soiled laundry.

At low temperatures, the applianceconsumes less energy. For light tonormal soiling, lower temperaturesthan indicated on the care labelare also sufficient.

Set the maximum spin speed if youwant to dry the laundry in a tumbledryer afterwards.

The drier the laundry, the shorterthe programme duration when dry-ing which, in turn, reduces energyconsumption.

Wash the laundry without prewash.Washing with prewash increasesthe programme duration and in-creases energy and water con-sumption.

The appliance has a continuousautomatic load adjustment function.

Depending on the type of fabricand load capacity, the continuousautomatic load adjustment func-tion optimally adjusts the waterconsumption and programme dur-ation.

Energy saving modeIf you do not use the appliance for anextended period, it automaticallyswitches to energy-saving mode. Alldisplays go out and Start / Reloadflashes.Energy-saving mode ends when youuse the appliance again, e.g. if youopen or close the door.If you do not use the appliance for anextended period, the applianceswitches off automatically.
